Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great Malaga dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Malaga, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts United Healthcare.
